A5H posted:Just pre-ordered windows 7 for £44 at tesco The easiest way for you to format the drive for a clean install is to just drop the Windows DVD in and when it asks you which drive you want to install on, select the desired hard disk and instead of pressing the big install button in the bottom right, click 'Drive Options (Advanced)' underneath the drive listing. A number of new options will appear, just choose Format (go for NTFS if asked). Then once the drive is formatted, select it and choose 'install'! It's much streamlined in Windows 7. Check out this guide http://pcsupport.about.com/od/operatingsystems/ss/windows-7-clean-install-part-1.htm Pages 10 and 11 show you screenshots of the drive select screen.

Maneki Neko posted:This may not necessarily be a Windows 7 question, so forgive me if it's retarded, but do I actually need to install Intel Chipset drivers in windows 7? Nope! It'll get what it needs automatically from Windows Update. I'm using a Core 2 Duo on the Gigabyte S3 965P motherboard with most likely the same Intel southbridge as you, and Windows 7 grabbed the most up-to-date 64-bit drivers itself while installing without asking me. All I had to install myself were my programs.
